uuurgh went overboard on the shading. Trying to get back in the swing of drawing. I was looking at an MLP 30 day challenge and decided to draw my favorite background pony. I love Fleur. She's GORGEOUS(and I'm shallow). I like to think she's a lot smarter and active than the show lets on...

Action Fleur?I've always had a soft spot for it myself; I like to imagine she's quite competent and capable, she just prefers not to get her perfect hooves dirty unless she absolutely has to, or if it can be done in a beautiful way.

Always had a bit of a soft spot for Fleur-de-Lis (according to the mobile game, though, it's spelled Fleur Dis Lee). She is a beautiful mare, and I like to imagine hidden depths to a LOT of characters in the show whom one would think of as being one-dimensional. I can stand by this idea of Fleur-de-Lis being multilingual and donating a sizable portion of her income to charitable organisations. Also, I like to think from this image that she has a surprising knowledge of combat spells and non-magical defensive martial arts. Indeed, Fancy Pants is ironically named, AND a lucky sonuvanag.

Now we just need a couple pouncing changelings on the top right, a few helpless snooty rich ponies cowering on the lower left, and a background consisting of Canterlot burning during the initial Changeling invasion.

Changelings had the advantage until one of them said: "grab the trophy wife".
